Love Triangle

Unfortunately, her heart's desire to ignore her father's voice stopped her from stepping right in front of the main door and grabbing the doorknob. If her father not noticed her presence, she could have simply pushed the doorknob open, then could have gone out immediately.

Lazily, Keira turned her body to face her father who was already looking at her with a stern gaze. "I'm going to go meet my friend, Dad."

"But-" "you can go. Have fun, dear."

Diandra cut Nick off while smiling at Keira. Without saying even a single word, Keira just left. She didn't want to waste the opportunity to get away from her sudden marriage problems for a moment.

Yes ... just for a moment. Because afterward, whether want to or not. Whether she liked it or not. She still had to face the arranged marriage.

Keira ran to Gavin's car which was parked in front of her house. The two of them wasted no time and immediately left, to meet Kayla.

Keira's face, which had looked cheerful, was now gloomy again. Along the way, none of them spoke. All that was heard was the sound of car engines and other vehicles passing by on the same road.

Keira turned her gaze to the side of the window and watched the night scene that still looked so busy. Gavin occasionally noticed Keira's face. He knew that the girl sitting next to him was not in a good mood, so he chose to remain silent.

It took about 25 minutes from Keira's house to the place Kayla had arranged for them to meet. Keira and Gavin entered the club as soon as they got out of the car.

"Kei, over here ...!" Kayla waved her hand, welcoming Keira.

Keira, who saw that, immediately approached the girl with Gavin following behind.

"Oh Keira darling... I missed you so damn ******* much."

Kayla hugged Keira's body tightly, releasing the longing that was already passionate about her best friend. Likewise Keira, of course she did the same.

"I missed you too."

"Oh, Gavin. You came too." Kayla said hello.

The hug didn't last long. Now they released each other's embrace and Kayla looked at Gavin who was standing right behind Keira.

"Umm, I was going to ask Keira to met up, but she said she was going to meet you here. So, she invite me."

Don't know what happened to Gavin. His attitude was so different when treating Keira and other girls, like Kayla. He acted a little cold.

"Do you guys see each other often? Or are you even dating?"

Keira's eyes rounded perfectly when she heard the surprising question asked by Kayla. The question was completely unpredictable to Keira, but unlike Gavin, it was as if he knew that at any time, a question like that would definitely be asked to him and Keira.

Maybe it was time, the question came from Keira's best friend who also had a good relationship as a high school friend with him.

Keira was now transfixed, just wordlessly staring at Gavin who was also staring at her.

"I often expressed my feelings to her, but she never gave me an answer, instead she often changed the subject."

Keira didn't really look surprised when she heard what Gavin had said, but she seemed to swallow her saliva with difficulty because she was so nervous.

'I know he loves me so sincerely that I can't give him an answer that would be a rejection. I can't force my feelings. I can't open my heart to Gavin, because there's someone else to fill it and I'm still waiting for that person to come back into my life. Gavin, you know that very well, but why do you keep expecting my love? Sometimes your presence by my side makes me feel happy, but most of the time I feel guilty for not being able to love you back. No matter how often I explain it to you, you still don't stop loving me. I'm so grateful for your sincere love. I hope that one day, Gavin can stop loving me and find someone who can love him sincerely and live happily,' Keira's thought.

'Keira looked at me, but didn't say anything. I know it's very difficult for her to open her heart to me, but I still hope that one day she can love me. I will wait for her patiently, just like she waited for her first love. If one day her first love returns, I promise to let her live happily with the person she loves and loves her too,' Gavin thought.

'Honestly, I hate times like this. The moment where Gavin and Keira met. I know Gavin's feelings very well. Gavin has loved Keira since we were in high school, or even more and he's still holding on to his obviously unrequited feelings. Gavin, can't you see that I love you too? Stop expecting Keira's love and come to me. I will love you with all my heart and make you happy,' Kayla's heart whispered.

***

Keira, Gavin and Kayla ended up sitting together but none of them spoke, only the sound of loud music could be heard. The atmosphere that surrounded the place where they sat felt so awkward.

Their thoughts that were different from one another actually had a common desire. Namely ..., they want their loved ones to live happily, even though some of them are too selfish and forceful.

Keira herself is not really the type of woman who likes crowded places like clubs, but she has a pretty admirable sense of tolerance. Just because her best friend Kayla loved clubs and often asked her to meet up there, Keira had no choice but to go.

Of course, it wasn't because she had to. She just wanted to respect the big difference between her and her best friend.

In the midst of the awkward silence filled with music, Keira's phone on the table suddenly rang. She received an incoming call notification.

It accidentally made the very awkward atmosphere between the three of them a little less. the three people sitting together finally exchanged glances and smiles.

Without wasting much time, Keira took her phone and saw who was calling her.

Keira's face broke into a smile as she looked at her phone screen. It turned out that it was her sister - Laura.

Finding the music too loud and the sound of her phone impossible to hear if she received a call, Keira excused herself to go to the restroom so she could answer the call.

It was now just Gavin and Kayla left there. It was even more awkward for the two of them after Keira left.

Gavin didn't seem to pay much attention to Kayla and occasionally looked at the people dancing on the dance floor, while it was much different with Kayla.

Of course the beautiful girl felt awkward and also nervous having to sit opposite the man she loved in silence.

To just take a glass of drink that was in front of her, she looked so careful. Occasionally she looked at Gavin and stole a glance so as not to be caught.

About ten minutes passed, Keira finally returned from the toilet. Her face looked very different from when she left. The girl looked so gloomy and angry.

Did Laura say something that made her mood even worse? Only Keira and Laura knew.

The atmosphere of the table occupied by Keira, Gavin and Kayla was even more tense, exceeding the scene of a horror movie or serial killer. Because still no one dares to start a conversation to reduce the awkwardness between the three of them.

Occasionally Gavin looked at Keira, until he realized that the girl looked more gloomy than before.

Keira just lowered her head with a very blank look, as if she was thinking about something very seriously.

"Hey! Are you okay?"

Finally ... the tense atmosphere ended, after Gavin tried to ask Keira.

Suddenly Keira looked up and threw a weak smile at her best friend.

"Eumm ... I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Kayla asked this time.

Now Kayla and Gavin looked at Keira seriously and waited for another word that they hoped would come out of Keira's thin lips.

But unfortunately, no other answer came out of her. Keira deliberately chose to remain silent and didn't say anything to her two best friends.

"I don't think you're okay." Gavin tried to hold Keira's hand.

"I'm fine. There's no need to worry." Keira let go of Gavin's hand that had been holding her slowly.

Keira now tried to look away and looked around, as if she was looking for something.

"Laura, over here!" She shouted as she waved at Laura who had just entered the club.

Laura was not alone. She came with a handsome man who followed her behind.

That man was, of course, none other than Sean. Perhaps that was the reason why Keira's face looked so gloomy and angry when she returned after receiving a call from Laura earlier.

Laura who saw Keira immediately walked towards her with Sean and finally they sat around the same table with Keira, Gavin and Kayla.

"Laura, you come too?" Gavin immediately greeted Laura as soon as his best friend's sister sit in the same table as him.

"Eumm ... I was asked by my father to catch up with Keira." Laura turned her head towards Kayla and gave her a friendly smile. "Kay, you here too?"

"Yes. Long time no see, Laura."

"Who is he? Is he your boyfriend?" Gavin asked with his eyes pointed at Sean.

Instantly all eyes were on Sean who Gavin was pointing at, especially Keira.

The beautiful girl looked at Sean with an annoyed look, as if she really didn't want to see Sean at that moment.

Laura glanced at Keira in surprise and then looked back at the others.

"Didn't Keira tell you guys yet? This is Sean. Keira's future husband. And Sean, these are Gavin and Kayla, Keira's close friends."
